Shop On Carroll charity shop

Buy something new and donate something old. All of our stock, from garments to collectables, is donated. When you donate goods and purchase pre-loved clothing and treasures you contribute to vital Otago programmes for families, young people, welfare and social services. Shop on Carroll relies on donations of clean, re-usable and unbroken clothing, shoes, knick-knacks, jewellery, books, vintage items and household items. We have collection bags available if you would like to have a 'chuck it for charity' day or you can donate directly to our Shop On charity shop.
